Why this slice wins everyone over
Homemade, every day
Baked on site by the chef, in the same spirit as the whole menu: seasonal produce, nothing industrial, everything made in the kitchen.
Known far beyond the 18th
A world-famous carrot cake praised even by the English-speaking press, now an essential sweet stop on a Montmartre stroll.
The carrot cake of Montmartre
You don't come to Berchoux for the carrot cake by chance. The slice is tall, the frosting generous, the crumb fragrant with gentle spices and studded with tender grated carrot. It's the dessert that stays with you after lunch on the Butte.
Served all day long, it pairs just as well with a coffee break as with the end of a meal. Enjoy it in our neighbourhood canteen, or take it away to savour on a Montmartre bench.
Thirty years in starred kitchens, one slice of cake turned cult favourite.
“A good carrot cake means time, good produce and nothing superfluous. The rest is generosity.”Julie Berchoux, chef
Before opening her table in Montmartre, Julie spent thirty years alongside Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon. She now puts that rigour at the service of unpretentious baking — and a carrot cake praised even by the English-speaking press.
